The Effect of an Implantable Doppler Probe on the Salvage of Microvascular Tissue Transplants

Abstract: One hundred forty-seven flaps in 135 consecutive patients undergoing microvascular transplantation were monitored using a miniature Doppler ultrasonic probe. Using a modification of a technique described previously by Swartz, the probes were secured to the outflow vein of the flap with Vicryl mesh. Twenty instances of thrombosis or spasm were detected in 16 patients, and all flaps were salvaged (100 percent). There were four false positive and no false negative results. This probe allows for safe, continuous m… Show more

“…Based on our specified exclusion criteria, the texts of 22 articles were assessed for eligibility. Eight comparative observational studies 9,1620,24,25 met the inclusion criteria. Because Rozen et al 17 and Whitaker et al 24 shared some patients, the latter was excluded.…”
